    I find this one so difficult to rank. They are all so young and still have a lot of developing to do.

    I would likely think something like this:

    Jones/Ekblad/Trouba
    Lindholm(a small step behind, but not much)

    Jones / Trouba / Ekblad / Lindholm

    So much can happen with all these players development over the next few years and things can change in a hurry. I rank them by Jones and Trouba already in the NHL and showing great promise so it's hard to not rank them first and with all these guys around the same age it makes sense to rank them as so. Ekblad should be a force as well in Florida. Lindholm is likely a tier behind these guys.

    For just points? I like what Kane Ryker did.

    Though I'd be tempted to bump Trouba to first. Very close

    Very close among those four. And don't think Lindholm is a tier behind at all, like suggested. Wouldn't surprise me if he turns out the best of the bunch.
    I can't promise I'll try but I'll try to try.

    He very well could be. But right now I think his value is a step behind the others.

    lindholm is arguably the least talented of the group but he is on the best team and could be the better fantasy asset to own.

    This sounds like a Lindholm owner..

    I believe will be below these three down the road as far as points go!!

    Ownership has nothing to do with it. I saw him play many times last year. Everything about his game says future stud. He was underrated going into the draft and he is hugely underrated now. There isn't a big different between him and Trouba now(I'll give Trouba a very slight edge) but from everything I read Trouba is the next coming of Orr. I think a lot has to do with Lindholm not being flashy but you don't need to be to put up big offensive numbers.
    I can't promise I'll try but I'll try to try.

    I'd like to see a good argument for it.

    I find it interesting how Trouba has exploded as the Defensive Fantasy Prospect to have this year... and Jones has kinda quited down after a do no wrong golden boy showing... this time last year in the forum.

    Just an observation.
